Excerpt from The Itinerary of Rabbi Benjamin of Tudela, Vol. 2: Notes and Essays

That benjamin was a Jew, is too evident to require any further proof, and if we examine his work with any degree of attention, and compare it with similar productions, we shall be forced to admit, that it could only have been a Merchant, who would be induced to notice with so much accuracy the state of trade in the towns and countries he visited. That commerce was the vocation of our traveller, has been also advanced by Eichhorn and Pardessus, and a glance at the ar ticle 'commerce' Of our index will be found strongly to corroborate this assertion.
